Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a filter, a heater and plenty of open swimming space.

Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Pick fast, sturdy tankmates such as other barbs, danios, loaches, corydoras and larger tetras. Avoid slow, long-finned fish like bettas, angelfish, gouramis and guppies.

Good to know: Tiger barbs nip fins mostly when kept in small numbers. Keeping them in a group keeps the chasing within the school.
